February 22, 2012 (Calgary, AB) - avenue living is pleased to annouce the recent purchase of a 4 building portfolio comprising of 161 units in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. This $9.66 million acquisition is highly accretive to the portfolio and now adds Swift Current as an operational center. This marks our first acquisition of the year and widens our breadth and scope in the Province of Saskatchewan.

Carl Diodati, Chief Investment Officer of Avenue Living commented that: "The addition of Swift Current to our operational scope is a testament to our continued belief in the strong economic fundamentals of the Province.  We still think that secondary markets in Saskatchewan are being improperly priced by participants; as a result, we will continue to pursue similar opportunities."
